Stephen Curry had an incredible night, scoring 56 points against the Orlando Magic. His performance helped the Golden State Warriors secure a 121-115 victory. Curry made 12 three-pointers and shot 16-for-25 overall, hitting all his free throws.
This game was particularly special for Curry as it marked his 26th career game with 10 or more three-pointers, a new NBA record. Not only did he outscore the entire Magic team in the third quarter, but he also turned a 14-point deficit into a five-point lead, scoring 22 points during that period alone.
The Warriors have been on a roll, winning five straight games and seven of their last eight since acquiring Jimmy Butler. Butler struggled in this game, scoring just 5 points in 32 minutes.
On the Magic side, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner put up a strong fight, scoring 41 and 27 points, respectively. However, it wasn’t enough to keep up with the Warriors.
Some impressive stats from Curry’s performance include:
- This was his 14th career 50-point game, and he holds the record for the most 50-point games after turning 30 years old, with nine.
- He leads the league with 26 career games featuring 10 or more three-pointers.
- Curry has made at least nine three-pointers in 45 games, more than the total of the next five players combined.
- His highest-scoring game so far was 62 points against Portland in January 2021, and he holds the record for the most three-pointers in a single game at 13.
As Curry continues to perform at this level, fans can look forward to more thrilling moments from the star player and the Warriors.
